Random writing tips that my history professor just told during class that are actually helpful

Download all your sources or print them so you can turn off your wifi

Give your phone to someone

Just. WRITE. Writing is analysing, you’ll get more ideas as you write. It doesn’t need to be perfect, for now you can just blurt out words and ideas randomly. You can fix it later.

Create a skeleton/structure before writing.

Stop before you get exhausted. It’s best to stop writing when you still have some energy and inspiration left, this will also motivate you to get started again next time.

Make a to do list

Work in bite sizes. Even if it’s not much, as long as you put some ideas on paper or do some editing.

Simple language =/= boring language, simple language = clear language.

Own your words. If they are not your words, state this clearly in the text, not just in the footnotes.

STOP BEFORE YOU GET EXHAUSTED. Listing it again because it’s easily one of the best tips a teacher has ever given me.

i need to catch up on lectures but what if I learned how to use blender and practiced the piano and read entirely-unrelated-to-my-studies papers and started reading a new book and learned how to crochet and took a long bath and booked a spontaneous trip and learned how to dance and went to the 24hr gym and became really good at chess and

Arabian Dark Academia

Practising Arabic calligraphy, retaping flash cards back onto the wall of notes, kohl-rimmed eyes, translated folklore and classics, layered tops and long skirts, homework assignments written on your palms, self-teaching the mother tongue, mint tea and spicy coffee, writing from right to left, then writing from left to right, ink stains on your hands and cheeks, henna painted hands, long to-do lists, gold on your neck and your hands, dual language notes, detailed diagrams, switching languages mid-speech, headscarves in muted colours, reciting prayers against stress and anxiety, bookshelves filled with western and eastern novels, forgetting words in one language but remembering it in another, chewing the tops of pens and pencils, reapplying roll-on perfume throughout the school day, highlighted lines in textbooks, loud rich laughter bouncing off the corridors where ever the group goes.

You are a student. You are a student descended from foreign parents. You do what you were brought to the West to do. You learn.

btw everything is an aesthetic if you make it one and that's the secret to romantisizing your life. you know those posts that describe an aesthetic in details? notice that those details are absolutely mundane. throw a bunch of details from your daily life together, call it an aesthetic and you got it. just try right now and see how easy it is

best piece of life advice when you want to change a bad habit: you cant remove something without replacing it. otherwise, you'll leave a hole that needs filled.

you want to distance yourself from that friend and interact less frequently? get closer with other friends, and talk with them more.

you want to drink less gatorade/soda? start drinking more water or tea.

you want to play less video games? play more card or board games.

you want to eat less junk food? cook more home meals or go to better restaurants where you can.

energy cant be created or destroyed, and that applies to your habits too.

It’s annoying but the way you improve yourself is one tiny thing at a time

Is there an un-aesthetic version of studyblr? I don't want to look at your notes and feel inferior, or see you set up your study table in a way that suggests you never experienced a lick of stress. I want real study tips, that teach me how to study. With the ugly notes where they explain a good way to process the information and write it down that isn't just copying the whole book. I want organisation tips, and how to prepare for tests and reread materials in a way that doesn't take a week per chapter.
